How can SAP MDG and IS-OIL run in the same system?
SAP MDG and IS-OIL can run in the same system by extending the standard MDG material and business partner data models with IS-OIL attributes, then carrying those fields through generated structures, mappings, UI, replication, and end-to-end validation.
SAP MDG and IS-OIL can run in the same system by extending the standard MDG material and business partner data models with IS-OIL attributes, then carrying those fields through generated structures, mappings, UI, replication, and end-to-end validation.
SAP MDG and IS-OIL can be combined in one system by using the standard MDG extensibility framework. The guide recommends activating the relevant MDG and IS-OIL business functions, extending the delivered MDG data models with the validated Oil & Gas fields, updating the related structures and mappings, and then exposing the fields in the MDG UI and replication setup.
Process flow
- Activate the required IS-OIL and MDG business functions in the same system.
- Extend the standard MDG data models with representative IS-OIL attributes.
- Extend the required MDG and API structures.
- Extend mappings between staging and active areas.
- Configure MDG user interfaces to expose the Oil & Gas fields.
- Configure business activities and UI actions.
- Configure replication using IS-OIL-specific IDoc types.
- Validate Material, Supplier, Customer, procurement, and sales scenarios end to end.
